Virus: 101 Incredible Microbes from Coronavirus to Zika

by Marilyn Roossinck

Viruses are the last frontier of undiscovered life on our planet. The most abundant type of organism on Earth, they infect all types of cellular life, and, as micro-organisms that cause disease in their hosts, they are highly opportunistic and relentlessly efficient. They exist at the vanguard of DNA variance, exhibiting more structural diversity than plants, animals, archaea, or even bacteria. This 21st-century guide offers an engaging introductory section explaining exactly what viruses are and how they operate, followed by individual profiles of 101 of the world's most notable examples, each with its own dazzling mugshot

Loving it! It's great to find a book so rigurous in the biological aspect with the plus of having an immersive aesthetic and a concision in the language, but this book is not enjoyable for anyone who skipped the biology class (take care to the aminoacids, RNA, etc).

Amando este libro! Es grandioso encontrar un libro tan riguroso en el aspecto biológico pero con el plus de tener una estética inmersiva y una concisión en el lenguaje finísima. Pero este libro no es disfrutable para quien haya capado clase de biología (pilas con los aminoácidos, ARN)
